If the refreshed 2026 Tesla Model S follows in the footsteps of the just launched 2026 Tesla Model Y, we can expect new front and rear LED light bars. For those wondering, this would mark the third refresh since it launched in 2012, with the last one being in 2022.
We don’t expect a big powertrain overhaul, as the current All-Wheel Drive trim has two electric motors making 670 hp and 723 lb-ft of torque, while offering a 410-mile range on a full charge. There should still be a Plaid trim as well, equipped with three electric motors producing 1,020 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 1.99 seconds.

Just give it a minute. We’ll get there. The upgrade a few years ago was bigger than most people thought in terms of architecture and structure; We’ll give it some love later this year; Everyone here has a little place in their heard for S/X. They are not going anywhere anytime soon,” said Lars Moravy, Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering.
